Uncertainty, discipline, resilience, overthinking, and chaos basically describe hurdles and how to overcome them (according to me). For any individual out there, there can be numerous amounts of barriers that they have to come face to face with. Whether it be writer’s block, academics, job hunting, financial struggles, being your true self, mental, physical or emotional challenges, etc. Jumping over those barriers requires a process, a pathway, or just simply a thought on how to find the solution instead of just pondering over how bad the situation is. Come to think of it, how long are you going to stand next to that barrier instead of finding ways to remove it from your path? Realistically, facing an obstacle is so much more difficult than just talking or writing about it. It’s nerve-wracking — fibers and threads of anxiety, the pressure to just get over it already, the stress, and all the negativity. Being a teenager is one big hurdle, one that I find myself facing. It is, indeed, a blessing in disguise and something to be grateful for, but it is also a phase of life which challenges you in many different aspects. Teenagers all go through the same things emotionally and mentally, although at different points and in different aspects of life. Namely, peer pressure, social anxiety, stress, impulsive behaviours/decisions, self-esteem and mood swings. Through my own experiences of dealing with negativity and stress, I have come to understand how easily impulsive decisions can follow, cloud your judgement and thoughts, and trigger unwanted mood swings. Experiencing all of that has made me the individual I am today, and I have learnt to look at things more positively along with thinking about the decisions I have to make, more rationally. After all, it doesn’t hurt to be calm and think with a positive viewpoint even when life is throwing curves at you. Hafsa Abid 12C Full Article: Obstacles and chaos within
